First Claim
Patent Images
1. A mixed mode encapsulated electrophoretic display for an electronic device, comprising:
- a substrate fabricated of a electrically insulative material;
a matrix display driver disposed on the substrate;
a region of conductor segments in the shape of symbols to be displayed disposed on the substrate; and
an encapsulated electrophoretic laminate disposed over both the matrix display driver and the region of conductor segments, the encapsulated electrophoretic laminate including a layer of encapsulated electrophoretic material and a transparent conductor layer disposed over the encapsulated electrophoretic layer.

Abstract
A substrate (104) has a region of conductor segments (110) and a matrix display driver (106) mounted on it. The matrix display driver is used for creating pixilated images or symbols, while the conductor segments are used for turning on or off iconic elements. An encapsulated electrophoretic display laminate (108) is mounted over both the matrix display driver and the region of conductor segments to form the mixed mode display.
